My brachypelma hamorii has been in pre-molt for almost two months. She has molted two times with me, and on both times she molted pretty quickly after the first 'symptoms'. She's my first T, so I just want to know that is this normal?

And I'm sure she's in pre-molt because she's hiding all the time, moving less, not eating and her abdomen is dark and shiny.

Had this one for about 5 weeks now and she hasn’t eaten, just gone to try and feed again and I’m definitely thinking pre molt.. her abdomen looks huge and definitely darker than it was when I got her, just looking for the pros to confirm my thoughts]]>2I see a spot on my B smithiMon, 04 Feb 2019 23:32:10 +0000https://www.tarantulaforum.com/threads/i-see-a-spot-on-my-b-smithi.21955/

It got me thinking, what species are available within the hobby currently and where can I get hold of them.

After a quick search I've found a wiki that states 18 with 2 different groups

I know that my Albo has this hole in his carapace. But it seems getting bigger (or it is just my imagination since i already checked the photo of my albos from the first day i got him, the size of the hole is same)

I attach the picture of my T below.

Is that normal if tarantula have this hole in his carapace? And is it possible if the hole getting bigger or deeper? What is the function of this hole?

Thank you ]]>9B.vagans safety question from newb.Fri, 30 Nov 2018 20:40:44 +0000https://www.tarantulaforum.com/threads/b-vagans-safety-question-from-newb.23109/

I’m a novice so I’d like to ask about the safety of this species, I’m a little freaked out because I just read for this species the hairs have got barbs that if you get them in your eyes you go blind and you can only get them out via surgery! That’s what the article said anyway.
So first of all I won’t be handling any of my Ts, and when I come to transfer or remove a molt or do any work with them it will be gloves, goggles and mask, inc tongs,...

Eco Earth (coconut substrate) this will be made as high as possible to prevent falling, and allowing proper burrowing behavior if desired. Should I mix this with something else for proper burrowing material?
